Stevenson’s army, December 15

This appears to be from October, but it is a good reminder of why Iran was expelled yesterday from the UN Commission on the Status of Women.

– WaPo details Hill-WH fight over Yemen bill.

– US wins UN vote against Iran.

– House staffers win benefits.

– Lower level courts are already overturning precedents.

– Two opinions countering consensus on China policy — one in Politico, the other in New Yorker but citing FA article.

My SAIS colleague Charlie Stevenson distributes this almost daily news digest of foreign/defense/national security policy to “Stevenson’s army” via Googlegroups. I republish here, with occasional videos of my choice. To get Stevenson’s army by email, send a blank email (no subject or text in the body) to stevensons-army+subscribe@googlegroups.com. You’ll get an email confirming your join request. Click “Join This Group” and follow the instructions to join. Once you have joined, you can adjust your email delivery preferences (if you want every email or a digest of the emails).
